This funky Junction hot spot specializes in imaginative recycling. Owner Martin Scott transforms a chair into a table, old doors into benches and coffee tables, and a piano bench into a side table ($199); an old bowling lane (a.k.a. two-inch-thick slabs of maple or fir) finds new life as a table with a 1950s base. Scott also sells more traditional antiques, such as Windsor chairs, dressers, reclaimed church pews ($400) and vintage mirrors reframed with old boards ($49–$395). Some items, such as harvest tables made of reclaimed roof or barn boards (from $900), can be made to measure.
